Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

Chapter 262 No Chance of Life

Li Fan watched as Wu Xin walked towards him with a small knife. He was about to take a few steps back when he suddenly noticed a crack appear in the space behind Wu Xin.

His pupils contracted slightly as he stared intently at the spatial rift behind Wu Xin, where he could even vaguely see the writhing tentacles.

At that moment, reason prevailed over instinct.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Fan rushed forward with a tense expression, grabbed Wu Xin tightly in his arms, and quickly moved away from the spatial rift.

Wu Xin's previously blank expression turned into a sinister smile, and she seized the opportunity to plunge the knife straight into Li Fan's abdomen.

Li Fan reacted quickly, gripping the knife, which was less than a centimeter from his abdomen, tightly with his other hand.

In an instant, his palm was slashed deeply by the knife, and blood stained the entire blade.

"hiss--"

The sharp pain in his palm caused Li Fan's expression to contort for a moment.

After Wuyin dealt with the tentacles of the spacetime rift, she heard Li Fan's voice and quickly ran to their side.

Seeing Li Fan's blood-soaked palm, he decisively struck Wu Xin's neck with force.

Wu Xin felt a sudden pain in her neck, followed by a blackout and loss of consciousness.

Li Fan seized the opportunity to snatch the knife.

Wu Yin frowned as she stared at Li Fan's blood-soaked palm, feeling somewhat annoyed at herself for being too careless.

Knowing full well that ghost stories excel at creating and controlling the bizarre, they never expected that the ghost stories would control their own sister.

The giant head admired the pleasing scene, and his expression gradually softened.

A hint of mischievousness gradually appeared in the male prime minister's eyes. He rolled his eyes and whispered to the female prime minister.

"Oh dear, I haven't had enough of this show yet. Why is this strange power so useless?"

"Why don't we just destroy her? It's just creating another weird power, it's that simple."

The female prime minister, who was still furious with Li Fan, couldn't help but chuckle when she heard the male prime minister's suggestion.

"You're so naughty, darling, let's do it this way."

Oh, right, don't kill her all at once. Torture her slowly, so that that arrogant little brat will have a good look at her.

Upon hearing this, the male prime minister's face showed an even stronger sense of anticipation.

His pupils stared directly at Wu Xin again, a strange red glint flashing in his eyes.

Wu Xin, who was still unconscious, suddenly opened her eyes, but her face no longer showed the blankness from before, but rather a hint of confusion.

She gently covered her forehead, realizing she had somehow ended up in Li Fan's arms, and asked with a puzzled expression.

"My head hurts so much... What happened to me just now?"

Seeing that Wu Xin had regained her senses, Li Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"It's okay, you just fainted."

"Oh, and little sister, whatever you do right now, don't look directly into the giant's eyes."

Wu Xin nodded slightly, just about to say something more, when she suddenly noticed two very deep cuts on Li Fan's right palm, the flesh inside was turning outwards slightly, and blood was still flowing out.

This grotesque scene was particularly jarring.

In an instant, she seemed to realize something.

But she didn't dare ask; she was afraid to hear the answer.

Wu Xin silently tore off a piece of her own clothing and used it to bandage Li Fan's injured hand.

Li Fan stared intently at the cute little bow tied in his palm, and for a moment felt that all the injuries he had just suffered were worth it.

"Don't be careless, they're definitely going to pull some tricks next."

Wuyin approached the two of them, her tone very serious.

He had been watching the giant's expression closely, and just now he saw a strange red light flash in the male prime minister's eyes again, which meant that something unpredictable was about to happen.

"Ahhhhh!"

Sure enough, a violent scream rang out immediately after the red light disappeared, as if confirming Wuyin's guess.

"Little sister, what happened to your hand? What happened?"

Immediately following was Li Fan's exclamation.

Wuyin's face instantly turned ugly when he heard the voice behind him.

He turned to look at Wuxin in Li Fan's arms. He saw that she was in pain, her face was pale, and she was biting her lip tightly, forcing herself not to scream anymore.

Her arm on one side was missing, and blood was gushing out from the severed limb, mixed with wisps of black mist.

Li Fan hurriedly took off his coat, tore off a strip of cloth, and pressed it tightly against the proximal end of the severed artery. He then used the remaining cloth to bandage the wound.

Soon, the treated wound stopped gushing blood, but the bandage still couldn't stop the red blood from seeping out.

In this situation, if Wuxin is not taken to the hospital for treatment immediately, she will die from shock due to excessive blood loss.

Li Fan held the weak Wu Xin in his trembling hands. His mind was blank, and he could only subconsciously look up at Wu Yin.

Wu Xin had recovered slightly from the excruciating pain and spoke weakly.

"I'm fine. You two don't panic because of me. As long as it's a ghost story, there's always a glimmer of hope."

Ha, is there always a glimmer of hope in anything that's just a ghost story?

Wuyin listened to the words she used to say to herself, and for the first time felt that they were incredibly ironic.

In ghost stories, they can indeed find a way to survive through rules or clues, but the giant head in front of them is just a simple four-dimensional monster.

Killing a three-dimensional human is as easy for him as crushing an ant, let alone killing an experimental subject he created himself, which is just a matter of a single thought.

How could he possibly find that glimmer of hope?

How exactly can he break through the three-dimensional world to defeat the four-dimensional monster?

There was absolutely no chance of survival in this battle.

If they hadn't still had some use for the giant's head, they wouldn't have survived until now.

His fate was sealed from the moment he was created; there was no way to escape it.

Wuyin gripped the scalpel tightly in her hand, but made no move.

Because he knew that Wuxin wasn't injured by the giant's head, but rather that its internal self-destruct program had been activated.

The eerie power that created her is gradually dissipating, and when it completely vanishes, she will die.

During this process, the giant head does not need to take any action at all.

Wuyin's brows furrowed tightly; the more he tried to find a way to deal with the giant's head, the more his brain ached.

Is this... the only way?

Seeing the pain on Wuyin's face, the giant's head curled into a deeper smile.

Another cry of pain exploded in Wuyin's ears.

Accompanied by an androgynous laugh, Li Fan exclaimed in surprise. Wu Yin felt a buzzing in his ears, which gradually blurred his vision, and he almost lost his footing.

The other hand, without a core, had also disappeared, leaving only a severed end that continuously gushed blood.

But her screams lasted only a moment before stopping.

She knew perfectly well that her cries would only make her two brothers more worried, so she could only grit her teeth and swallow her painful groans.

Beads of sweat dripped from her forehead onto the tip of her nose. Her face was deathly pale, and her eyes gradually became unfocused and vacant.

She wanted to say something more, but the intense pain left her too weak to make a sound.

Large tears rolled uncontrollably down Li Fan's face, but his expression remained completely blank.

He kept trying to cover the bleeding wound on Wuxin's body with his hands, but found that it had no effect no matter how he tried.

Seeing Li Fan's panic, the female prime minister was in a good mood and she sneered disdainfully.

"Your brothers are such weaklings, they can't even protect their own sister."

Actually, I think your legs are quite an eyesore, so why don't you..."

I promise you!

Wuyin's hands slid limply to her sides, and the scalpel in her hands fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

He compromised.

If a paper figure can't defeat a human, how could it possibly defeat a four-dimensional being?

Their methods certainly didn't stop there. Rather than see his closest loved ones being tormented endlessly, he was willing to sacrifice his consciousness and become what the giant-headed man called a "puppet god."

Li Fan froze on the spot upon hearing Wuyin's words.

He turned his head in disbelief to look at his elder brother's back.

The figure was much thinner than before, yet it stood there straight, sheltering them from the wind and rain.

Upon hearing this, the male prime minister curled his lips into a smile, seemingly thoroughly enjoying the sense of accomplishment he felt in dragging his unruly experimental subject into the abyss.

He looked down at Wuyin with a disdainful gaze, his tone laced with sarcasm.

"I didn't hear you. Say it again."

“I promise you, I will cooperate with you to become the ‘god’ you speak of.”

"As long as you release my sister, and Li Fan too."

The voice was silent, revealing no emotion; the head hung low, lost in thought.

"Brother, you..."

Li Fan stared at the increasingly blurry figure, unable to utter a single word.
